What EVE really needs now:

1. Modular POSes that are like little cities people can build in space. Besides revamped practical functionality and game mechanics, this feature is heavy with customization. Defense ops take on a new meaning, when the owners have invested time, effort and creativity on their base, and feel it's unique. Bind this feature with new technology and materials found in 3.

2. Ship skins. Start with unlocking the existing assets, then move onto alliance and corp color schemes. Final stage is personification of private ship color schemes in a character editor -like tool. Paint is made from lowsec-only gases and exploration blueprints.

3. New space, new race. Entered via new one-way wormholes only spawning in lowsec, these 500 new systems are interconnected via new type of stargates that spawns players 5km from beacons in space. No burning back to the gate here. Instead of few gate routes like elsewhere, these systems all lead to 10+ systems, forming a tight network without obvious bottleneck systems... except when you want to get back home :) Plenty of whs lead to this new space, but only a handful lead back home :) Unclaimable, cyno-jammed -1.0 no-POS space rich with resources, that require team work to harvest and haul back to known space.

New NPCs are hostile, lethal, and new AI that closely mimicks player behaviour and actually operate according to the same game mechanics. They all point and use drones, escape unless pointed, and encounters have fewer ships instead of ****** swarms. Blob them, and they will hotdrop you. They might hotdrop anyway just because. Primarily intended for more experienced players living outside hisec.

4. Revamp the goddamn drone UI and fix the drones themselves.

5. Revisit cyno and sov mechanics.


That's my list, hth

A new high slot module to transfer (or steal) ore from mining barges in space (just like the current aerial refueling system).

So... Giant space-mosquitos, then?

Maybe they could add Panda bears as a race.


Came in. Saw the topic. Saw there were already replies, and thought "Damn, missed my chance for a panda joke." But you had my back, good sir.

Add a drone race.

...wait, we already have the followers of James 315, so I guess we already have a drone race. My bad.

EVE needs less player input. All this garbage seems to foul up EVE with hundreds of bad ideas.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

Actually myself and another bittervet discussed the effects of a new race for us personally a while back.

When you hit that point where new skills no longer provide new stuff but simply make things work better the game does lose some excitement, a fifth race would at least give us 3-6 months of excitement (till we had maxed their stuff and then started asking for a 6th race :P)


So perhaps you only get to train new skills for new ships and kit if you move to a clone that is 'Jove' compatible and those can only be accessed once you have 100 million sp.

Good luck.

This would be such an awesome addition, I can already see Clear Skies producer get the will and the creativity engine turning all up side down to bring us more awesome motions.
